Multicoloured crochet taxidermy rhino

My latest bit of crochet taxidermy. This was a present for my sister's birthday but to be honest he nearly didnt make it in the post to Australia as i wanted to keep him for myself! 

If you want to make your own the pattern is for sale in my etsy shop

Crochet Taxidermy Moose

After falling madly in love with the crochet rhino i made i knew i had to make some more - and this is the latest addition - taxidermy moose!! Isnt he just gorgeous!! I modified this reindeer pattern by RoxyCraft, extending the neck and mounting it on an oval plaque, just like with the rhino. I love love love him!

Taxidermy Crochet Rhino

Is he not the cutest thing youve ever seen!!!! I love all the crochet and knitted taxidermy stuff thats around at the moment so i had to make my own. I adapted this pattern for a Rhino by Sweet and Cute Creations and mounted him on an mdf oval plaque. I just l-o-v-e him!

David Shrigley Exhibit

I went to the wonderful David Shrigley exhibit at the Haywood Gallery last week. It was really excellent, his usual mix of ecclectic items and clever jokes with a really irreverent feel to it. The was a little passage way between the two rooms that really only children could fit under, the adults had to walk back round, which i thought was really cute idea - nice and inclusive for the kids!
I had 2 favourite pieces, one was a taxidermy rat tucked in a corner, it make me do a proper double take and then chuckle out loud when i realised i'd been fooled, and the other was a ceramic tooth full of holes infront of a mirror so you looked at yourself when you walked up to see what the piece was called - and he called it 'this is decay', again made me chuckle out loud
I really recommend it if you are thinking of going, i had to change the date of my ticket a few times and the staff were really helpful about that too
